I've filed this bug against udisks in bugzilla at freedesktop.org. The resolution is distressing: the bug will not be fixed upstream.
Resolution --- WONTFIX Comment # 1 on bug 55742 from David Zeuthen udisks 1.x is in maintenance mode and only security critical bugs will get any attention. Since there is no similar concept in the UDisks 2.x I'm closing this bug WONTFIX. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466575 Title: secure remove of external USB-HDD produces error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udisks/+bug/466575/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
